From Diversity to InclusionDiversity & Inclusion Content Area

Organizations mirror the world which has become smaller, through technology and more diverse through social and business interactions. Individuals must function as customer service representatives to not only citizens, who create the major client base, but to the world and to each other. This presentation examines the full spectrum of diversity by utilizing a Dimensions of Diversity Grid to help executives make sense of the variances and impact of each factor. We will explore values and beliefs that support stereotypes, misperceptions, miscommunication, and other barriers that are a hindrance to embracing and adopting diversity and inclusionary best practices. Managers will learn how diversity can be a tool for success when based on inclusionary practices. They will examine how valuing diversity moves the organization’s culture forward in achieving its goals and objectives, while collectively embracing the mission.
